Noir Kei Ninomiya and PUMA have connected for a new take on the Speedcat, the brand’s heritage racing-inspired sneaker. The collaboration wraps the shoe in rose prints, marking a designer approach to the model.
The Speedcat traces back to PUMA‘s focus on performance footwear across motorsports and athletics. The low-profile silhouette became known for its clean lines and speed-oriented construction. This version shifts that DNA through Noir Kei Ninomiya’s signature aesthetic, which centers on craftsmanship and botanical motifs.
Noir Kei Ninomiya is a Tokyo-based designer known for intricate detailing and floral themes across apparel and accessories. The label has worked with major footwear brands before, bringing Japanese design sensibilities to each collaboration. The rose treatment on this Speedcat extends that approach, covering the upper with printed imagery.
The shoe maintains the Speedcat’s core structure, a low-cut court-style design with a rubber toe cap and streamlined profile. The rose prints appear across the upper, creating visual depth without altering the shoe’s proportions. PUMA branding remains visible on the tongue and heel.
This release represents another step in PUMA’s ongoing partnership strategy with design houses and creatives outside traditional sportswear circles. Similar collaborations have introduced new audiences to the brand’s archive models while giving designers a platform to reinterpret classic silhouettes.
The Noir Kei Ninomiya PUMA Speedcat follows the designer’s previous work with the German sportswear company, continuing a relationship that blends performance footwear with high-fashion editorial appeal.
